First I will assume that this problem can be reworded as follows:  "<span>Two negative integers are five units apart on the number line."

Let the first (the smaller) negative integer be x and the second y.  Note that y, being bigger than x, can be represented by y=x+5.

First find the 2 integers.  Their product is 126, so x(x+5)=126.
Expanding, x^2 + 5x - 126 = 0.  Using the quadratic formula to solve this, 

          -5 plus or minus sqrt(529)        -5 plus or minus 23
x = --------------------------------------- = -----------------------------
                           2                                              2
                                                                                          -5 -23
We are interested only in negative integers, so take x = ------------
                                                                                               2

Then x = -28/2, or x = -14.  Then y is x+5, or -14+5 = -9.

Check:  does the product of -9 and -14 equal 126, as it must?   YES.</span>

RSB [31]
Making the assumption that your problem looks like this,
\sqrt{5x}(\sqrt{x}-5\sqrt{5})

we use the distributive property to multiply:
\sqrt{5x}\times \sqrt{x}-\sqrt{5x}\times5\sqrt{5}&#10;\\&#10;\\ \sqrt{5x^2} - 5\sqrt{25x}&#10;\\&#10;\\ x\sqrt{5}-25\sqrt{x}

How to solve Question 3(c)?
BARSIC [14]
From your work on parts (a) and (b), you know that
.. r = 3.50
.. s = 140
The composite index of production cost from 2007 to 2009 is 114.2.

(c) If the production cost in 2007 was RM50, then in 2011 it was
.. RM50 * (2009 index) * (2011 index) = RM50 * 1.142 * 1.200 = RM68.52

Answer choices:<br><br> y = x<br> y = 1/4x - 2<br> y = -x + 7/4<br> y = 7/4x - 2
kumpel [21]

Answer:

all in all it's y=x

Step-by-step explanation:

A (4,1); B (0,-2)

G=delta y

--------

delta x

1-(-2)

-------

4-0

3/4=G

3/4=y-1/x-4

4 (y-1)=3 (x-4)

4y-4=3x-12

4y=3x+4-12

y=3/4x-3
